Oh No.

Had my Tan Tock Seng Hospital appointment for the slipped disc in my neck today.

Doc asked how I'm feeling. I said I'm feeling funky. Well, not exactly those words, but... you know.

I told him my neck doesn't really hurt, it's just that when setting my neck through its full range of motion, at the extreme right rotation there's a slight pain, a stiffness.

Doctor said that's good, it's healing. If it's not in pain it means I'm not healing.

Then he dropped the bombshell.

Doc: Just don't play sports.
Me: So sir, how? I can still play contact sports right?
Doc: No contact sports.
Me: What do you mean? What kind of sports CAN'T I play?
Doc: Sports like golf, tennis... you know, those which require a lot of turning and twisting.
Me: Ah. Well that means other sports are alright, right?
Doc: Well, if you're going to play sepak takraw, then it will gonna hurt you.
Me: Urm but doc! I AM a sepak takraw player...
Doc: Then it won't heal fast.
Me: How about football? Football's ok, right? I mean I just use my legs and body, I won't head.
Doc: Nope, no football either.
Me: Oh no...
